Prisma Health officials discussed the changes to national childhood vaccine guidelines announced by the CDC. The new recommendations divide the immunization schedule into three categories: immunizations recommended for all children, immunizations recommended for certain high-risk populations, and immunizations based on shared decision making. The new schedule recommends vaccines against 10 diseases, a decrease from the prior 17 required immunizations. All immunizations recommended as of Dec. 31, 2025, will continue to be fully covered by Affordable Care Act insurance plans and federal insurance programs.
